I think it goes beyond "properly Catholic".

Being infallible also means God speaks thru him.

Last I heard anyway.

Will the Pope be harassed for this, as others have been?

Lol @ folks getting mad because the Pope actually lives in the 21st century and not the century the church was created in.

The Archbishop of Buenos Aires Jorge Cardinal Bergoglio S.J. had to walk a fine line in a nation plagued by military supported Death Squads for he could have gone the way of the Archbishop of San Salvador who was murdered by such Death Squads in El Salvador. Hundreds of Clergy men, Monks and even well regarded Catholic lay people died through out Latin America at a time when pro USA Right wing military juntas and dictators ruled most of it. Those of us who lived back then from the 1950s -90s know the USA didn't stand for freedom or even simple fairness much preferring a Pinochet over a Democratically Salvador Allende or some faceless Brazilian General over President Julio Goulart. One should remember the USA didn't speak up when 7 American nuns were murdered in El Salvador soon after Archbishop Romero.


This has a long history in this region, one of my favorite movies is about the struggle of Jesuits and the powers that be in the mid 18th century along the border of present day Paraguay and Brazil . It is called The Mission , I strongly recommend this great piece of cinema.
